1
Do you regret what you did?
2
Nah.
3
Would you do it again?
4
Hmm, sure, why not?
5
This test is easy.
6
What do you want most in life?
7
And how are you going to achieve it?
8
The thing I want most in life is a boat.
9
You don't need a boat all the time, unless you live in it or something.
10
But when you're out there in the water, a boat will keep you from going under.
11
So, I built a boat.
12
I don't have a lot of things in our mind.
13
Sometimes things are really hard for me.
14
It's not perfect, but it's my boat.
15
And I love it.
16
You know, it may be hard to believe, what with my obvious charm and good looks, but people used to think I was a monster.
17
And for a long time, I believed them.
18
But after a while, you learn to ignore the names that people call you and...
19
You just trust who you are.
20
Cap, why aren't you defending yourself?
21
The news is all over you, everyone thinks it was you.
22
They say worse things about you.
23
Yeah, and it's horrible.
24
How could you be so.. so not upset about this?
25
I know who you are.
26
I talked to the police, the firemen, the people that you helped.
27
And I heard their stories about how you saved lives.
28
How you never asked for recognition, or reward, or even thanks.
29
It doesn't matter what the newspapers say, or the politicians, or the whole world.
30
They don't define who you are.
31
You do.
32
And not by your words, but by your actions.
33
The truth will come out, but until then, I'm going to keep fighting, just like you do.
34
You fool!
35
Why?
36
Why did you break it?
37
We could have fixed everything!
38
We can't erase the pain of the past.
39
I couldn't save them.
40
But it's our duty to protect our people!
41
No!
42
Not at the cost of betraying everything they stood for.
43
No!
44
It's time to let go.
45
You have to forgive yourself.
46
I have to forgive myself too.
47
I wanted to be a fireman to save people.
48
Oh my god.
49
Sixteen years ago, just after I'd been made captain, there was a terrible house fire with a young couple trapped inside.
50
When we got there, we hacked up the walls trying to get them up, but it was too late.
51
I couldn't save them.
52
I didn't know how I could go on.
53
I was devastated. And I needed to.
54
I needed to be there for my daughter.
55
She was so little then and I...
56
Anyway, my battalion chief told me that if I wanted to be a real fireman,
57
I'd have to accept that sometimes bad things happen and there's nothing more you could do.
58
You have to let it go.
59
I had just found out I was the Avatar.
60
But the responsibility, it was too much. So I ran away.
61
While I was gone, the Fire Nation attacked.
62
They were looking for me.
63
If.. if I'd just been there...
64
Sonam would say, Air Nomads are formed from the mist.
65
We walk the world for a moment in time, then we return to the eternal wind.
66
Bankiazzo taught me that.
67
We carry the same weight, a grief no one else could possibly comprehend.
68
But you and I can heal the past.
69
I know what it's like to not feel ready for something.
70
Even ogres get scared.
71
You know, once in a while.
72
I know you want me to be king, but I can't.
73
I'm not cut out for it and I never will be, alright?
74
Even my own dad knew I wasn't worth the trouble.
75
He dumped me at that school the first chance he got and...
76
I never heard from him again.
77
Look, I'm sorry, okay?
78
I shouldn't have blamed you.
79
Without you, we never would have got this close to finding Shimmer.
80
Honestly, without you, I would have stopped believing in her entirely.
81
You were right.
82
I do only look for the bad in other fish.
83
Because I'm scared that's all they'll see in me.
84
I'm a pout-pout fish with a pout-pout face.
85
That's all I've ever been.
86
Until I met you.
87
And you saw something else.
88
I don't know how we're gonna get out of here.
89
But I do know I can't do it without someone like you.
90
Who keeps looking for the light, even in the darkest places.
91
I'm nothing if people don't believe in me.
92
It's more important you believe in yourself.
93
They don't know the truth.
94
Yeah, but I just...
95
I don't know how to convince them.
96
Nobody's won.
97
In your heart, you're a hero.
98
You always have been, ever since you were young.
99
And most of all, most of all you've been my hero.
100
You've made me believe in myself my whole life.
101
I'd be nothing without you.
102
You will do so many great things as the Avatar, but you must be prepared to do what frightens you the most.
103
Your people, your home, we are always with you.
104
Sounds like she'll recover.
105
I mess everything up.
106
Don't be so hard on yourself.
107
Maybe this is a sign that it's time you follow your own dreams.
108
I never gave up on mine.
109
Easy for you to say.
110
You're a man.
111
Not really.
112
You really can't help us at all?
113
I wish I could.
114
I never want to let anyone down.
115
That's why I constantly move around.
116
Trust me, if I was magical I would have granted my own wish and got rid of my Shimmer for good.
117
Don't say that!
118
You are magical!
119
That Shimmer gives fish like us hope!
120
To keep looking for the light, even in the darkest place.
121
You know, a good friend of mine once told me
122
that just because people treat you like a villain or an ogre or just some loser It doesn't mean you are one
123
The thing that matters most is what you think of yourself
124
if there's something you really want or someone you really want to be
125
Then the only person standing in your way is you.
126
Me?
127
Get him, Lance!
128
No, no, no, no, no. What I mean is, each of you is standing in your own way.
129
Aang, as an airbender, it's important that you know when to show restraint.
130
Even if you have the power to win, you are the Avatar.
131
A lot of people are going to rely on the iron.
132
You don't see what everyone's really like, but I do.
133
I guess I just wanted to believe every fish had some good in them.
134
Well, fat lot of good that did.
135
Look around!
136
Fine.
137
I will.
138
What are you doing?
139
If I find some light, I can find the whale pup.
140
So I'm gonna keep looking.
141
And get more lost? Or eaten?
142
Maybe I will!
143
But I'd rather fail alone out there than give up with someone like you in here, who thinks I'm just cute and frilly.
144
Wait!
145
Pip!
146
We have to stick together!
147
Don't do this!
148
You have the power now!
149
You can decide how to use it!
150
I'm not like you!
151
The world hasn't been good to me!
152
The world is what we make it!
153
I know you don't like it, but sometimes that's what being a leader is.
154
Making hard decisions.
155
I know how to be a leader.
156
Taga!
157
Give it to me!
158
This isn't the way!
159
We can use the staff to bring back balance, peace!
160
You care so much about your ideals that you let your people die!
161
Silence!
162
I will do anything to make sure they survive!
163
Hello, maggots.
164
Trying to escape?
165
You're gonna play by my rules now.
166
Stay close, son.
167
She won't break us.
168
First goes the body, then goes the bones.
169
Then all that's left is dust.
170
You be quiet.
171
Right now!
172
You can't silence the truth.
173
It only makes it louder.
174
Like the approaching drumbeat.
175
When everyone stuck to their own, the whole world was nearly torn apart.
176
And besides, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Toph, they're my family now.
177
I want to live in a world where we can all be together.
178
You know who won't hurt you?
179
Your family.
180
Family.
181
Family is forever.
182
Look, I know I shouldn't have snuck off behind your back.
183
I know I shouldn't have dragged my friend into my lie, and I know I'm not the leader you want me to be.
184
I'm sorry, mom.
185
But a leader also stands up for what they believe is right.
186
You taught me that.
187
I love our pod, and I love our home.
188
So I was willing to believe in a crazy miracle to save it.
189
And the thing about crazy miracles, if you believe enough, sometimes they come true.
190
Vowse.
191
It didn't have to be this way.
192
I know there's still some good in there.
193
Well, I'm sorry, but I happen to live by certain code.
194
Always help friends stuck under a rock because it's friendly, and when you do, they'll be your friends and they'll help you someday
195
when you're under a rock or some other big heavy thing.
196
Nothing's more dangerous than a friend.
197
When your armor's down, they'll stab you in the back.
198
Where did you hear that?
199
It's what you told me when you dropped me off from my first day of school.
200
I am a good dad.
201
Zuko is a friend and an ally.
202
He turned against his own father to help me end the war.
203
Yet he wears the crown himself now.
204
Fire by its nature burns, Aang.
205
Our kind have always suffered at the hands of the other elements.
206
That's why we built Republic City.
207
To show the world that if we listen to each other, we can all live together, in peace.
208
I don't have the power to grant wishes.
209
I never have.
210
What?
211
Sacre bleu!
212
But I met you when I was little.
213
You granted my wish to find my dad.
214
No. You made that wish come true when you found the confidence to come out from where you were hiding, so he could see you.
215
I look different from other fish, so everyone assumed I have some kind of power.
216
But the truth is, the power to make wishes come true lies inside of you, not me.
217
Could we talk about this later?
218
I want to be there for the arrest.
219
But why, when your chances of actually becoming a fireman are approximately 0%?
220
Life isn't about percentages.
221
Ricardo.
222
And it can't be zero, because I'm doing it right now.
223
Boom!
224
You inspire me.
225
85%.
226
I don't know if airbending will ever return
227
But I know now that the true power of the air nomads
228
was never their bending it was their values and That's a power I can pass on to others
229
Sometimes on this rainbow road of life we lose our way,
230
but if you're lucky a Tiny version of yourself helps you remember your true calling.
231
I I know it's scary, but it's the only way.
232
We have to find the confidence to come out from where we're hiding.
233
Air nomads are formed from the mist.
234
We walk the world for a moment in time.
235
Then you return to the eternal wind. Should we say something?
236
Like what?
237
Hmm, cheer up.
238
Cheer up?
239
What's wrong with cheer up?
240
How would you feel if somebody told you to cheer up?
241
I don't think he can hear us.
242
I was so worried about you, Charlie.
243
Can't keep doing this.
244
You could have.. died.
245
Yeah, but I didn't!
246
Look, I've got super survival power!
247
For how long?
248
When does it run out?
249
Danny, heroes don't give up.
250
You want me to do that?

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
